Mosques

Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa, is home to a diverse Muslim community with prayer facilities spread across the city and its surrounding regions. Based on available mapped records, there are over 20 listed mosques and musallahs within a 50 km radius of central Pretoria. These include well-known landmarks such as Metro Masjid in Arcadia, just 1 km from the city centre, and Gezina Musallah in Rietfontein, approximately 4 km away. The presence of these prayer places reflects the established Muslim life in the capital, serving residents, workers, students, and travellers alike.

Beyond the city centre, prayer places are found in several key areas. In Centurion, Masjid Faizane Jeelan Eldoraigne and Eldoraigne Musallah are located in Wierdapark along Willem Botha Drive. To the north, Mabopane Islamic Centre and Mabopane UX Musallah serve the Mabopane area, while Ga-Rankuwa hosts multiple facilities including Garankuwa Masjid in Unit 16, Majafela masjid Islamic studies in Zone 1, and Daar al-Arqam in Ga-Rankuwa Rural. Further afield, Hammanskraal has Hammanskraal Masjid in Mandela Village and THE JUMU'AH MASJID OF HAMMANSKRAAL in Kudube Unit 1. The town of Brits features Brits Jamia Masjid on Central Street, Masjid Taqwa on Protea Crescent, and Brits Masjid on Karee Avenue. Other notable listings include Nizamiye Mosque in Midrand, Houghton Masjid in Johannesburg, and Al Noor Masjid in Cullinan-Refilwe.

This distribution of mosques and musallahs across Pretoria and its neighbouring towns—such as Centurion, Midrand, Mabopane, Ga-Rankuwa, Brits, Hammanskraal, and Bronkhorstspruit—provides a practical network for Muslims in the region. Whether you are a new arrival, a family, a student, or a traveller, these listed prayer places offer accessible options for daily prayers and Jumu'ah. The addresses provided can help you plan your visits, and the distances from central Pretoria give a sense of the coverage area. While this data is based on available mapped records, it serves as a useful starting point for exploring the Muslim prayer-place landscape in and around the capital.

When visiting any of these mosques, it is advisable to verify the exact address and opening hours, as some facilities may have specific prayer times or access arrangements. Contact information is not always listed, so checking with local community members or online sources can help confirm details. For Jumu'ah prayers, larger mosques like Metro Masjid or Nizamiye Mosque may have designated khutbah times.
